A manager once said, “I thought I was giving feedback — but my team heard criticism.”
It wasn’t the message that created distance. It was the tone.
In many Hong Kong workplaces, feedback is still tied to hierarchy.
Fast-paced reviews leave little room for dialogue.
But when curiosity replaces correction — “Can you walk me through your thinking?” — something changes.
Tension gives way to trust. People listen longer. Ideas surface that might have stayed hidden.
In the end, feedback isn’t about fixing — it’s about understanding.
And understanding begins with curiosity.
💭 How different would your next feedback conversation sound if you started with a question instead of a judgment?
14/01/2026
The AXA Hong Kong Mental Health Index 2025 reported that two-thirds of employees prefer to stay silent about stress (AXA HK Report 2025).
Behind those numbers are people managing hidden distress — worried that honesty will be seen as weakness.
Stigma thrives in silence.
What changes everything is when workplaces make “How are you, really?” a question that’s safe to answer.
Through Bridge of Support – Listening & Caring and Self-Care & Boundaries modules, teams learn how to respond with empathy while protecting their own wellbeing.
Across Hong Kong’s corporate culture, hierarchy and saving face still shape how meetings unfold.
Many employees stay silent — not because they have nothing to say, but because they fear being judged or dismissed.
Research from the CIPD Hong Kong Employee Voice Report (2025) found that 55% of employees don’t feel comfortable raising concerns to managers (CIPD HK, 2025).
When teams feel unsafe to speak up, innovation slows and avoidable issues stay hidden.
But when leaders invite questions and listen without defence, confidence grows — and creativity follows.
🧩 Our Safe to Speak: Psychological Safety for Teams course helps teams practise this openness and embed it in daily meetings.
In many Hong Kong workplaces, feedback often feels like fault-finding.
Employees brace for what’s “wrong” instead of leaning into what’s possible.
But when feedback starts with curiosity — “Can you share what led to this decision?” — defensiveness drops and learning rises.
That’s psychological safety in action: moving from evaluation to exploration.
Small shifts in tone can change the entire climate of a team.
Because people grow fastest when they feel safe enough to be honest.
💭 This is one of the approaches we explore in our signature Bridge of Support 支持之橋 and our Psychological Safety sessions — helping leaders turn feedback into growth.
In Hong Kong, one recent analysis found that only about 38% of employees report work-related mental health concerns being addressed by their employer — a clear signal that many don’t feel safe speaking up about stress, mistakes or concerns.
When people hold back ideas or concerns, the cost is more than silence — decisions become less informed, innovation stalls, and small problems grow unchecked.
Here’s a simple question for leaders and HR teams:
What would change if the quietest voice in your team spoke up tomorrow?
Creating that space doesn’t require a grand budget — it starts with one question in the next meeting.
06/01/2026
Teams are back in full swing.
Plans are polished, calendars full — yet in many meetings, voices stay silent.
It’s not a lack of ideas.
It’s hesitation — the quiet calculation of “Will this sound right?”
When psychological safety is missing, innovation slows.
People speak less, creativity shrinks, and good decisions get lost in fear.
Leaders who pause to ask, “What might people be holding back?” open the door to real progress.
Because safety isn’t built by slogans — it’s built in the small, consistent signals that say: You’ll be heard.
🧩 This is one of the key skills we practise in our Safe to Lead: Psychological Safety for Managers course — helping leaders turn silence into contribution.

Before the countdown begins, pause for a moment of reflection.
What’s one small habit that could make your 2026 feel calmer, kinder, or more connected?
It might be:
🌅 Starting the day with one deep breath before checking emails.
💬 Ending meetings with “thank you for sharing.”
🕊️ Letting your team rest without guilt.
Change doesn’t always start with a programme — sometimes it begins with a single mindful choice.
💭 What small wellbeing habit will you bring into the new year?
30/12/2025
Each year, organisations invest in wellbeing — yet many rely on the same old playbook: yoga mats, awareness days, and crisis reaction.
2026 calls for something different — psychological safety as strategy, not sentiment.
At Positive Wellbeing Limited, we’re seeing a shift from reactive care to proactive design:
💡 From “supporting” staff → to equipping leaders.
💬 From policies → to daily micro-behaviours that shape culture.
🌿 From programmes → to practices that feel natural and shared.
Our courses Bridge of Support 支持之橋 and Safe to Lead will reflect this — helping teams build belonging and resilience through everyday actions, not one-off events.
Here’s to workplaces ready to make wellbeing a leadership skill in 2026.
From all of us at Positive Wellbeing,
thank you for being part of a community that continues to prioritise care, respect, and inclusion — in workplaces and beyond.
As the year draws to a close,
we hope you find moments of calm, reflection, and connection with the people who matter most.
May this season bring rest for the mind and renewal for the year ahead.
✨ Warm holiday wishes from our team to yours.
24/12/2025
Wellbeing isn’t built through grand gestures — it’s shaped by everyday decisions that make people feel seen, safe, and supported.
Across Hong Kong workplaces this year, we noticed small but powerful moments that mattered:
🌱 Leaders who listened first. Meetings began with a wellbeing check-in, not a to-do list.
🤝 Teams that normalised rest. “Go home on time” became a shared value, not an exception.
💬 Managers who practised calm communication. Respect replaced reaction.
🌈 HR teams who made inclusion personal. Flexible work, sensory-friendly offices, and trauma-aware policies took root.
🕊️ Companies who measured trust, not just turnover. Because belonging is the true retention strategy.
Each small action built a culture where wellbeing wasn’t an initiative — it became a daily habit.
💭 What’s one moment of wellbeing your organisation is proud of this year?
